Chapter 384 The Tomb of the Emperor Under the Desert
The Goddess of War Sivir!
Taliyah was no stranger to this name. After she entered the Shurima continent, she often heard some travelers mention it.
Sivir has won countless battles, and she can win as long as her employer can afford it.
In fact, when Taliyah saw the legendary cross-shaped weapon in the desert of Vicoula, she had already guessed it.
Before Taliyah could speak, the sound of 'rumbling' continued to be heard outside.
The distance is very close, maybe just one more street to reach this abandoned house.
“Are they coming?”
Sivir pursed his bloodless lips, looked around at the trembling Vicora people, and asked in a low voice.
“Those rebels.”
"Did you hear that?" Taliyah looked at Sivir curiously.
“Of course, it sounds a lot like people’s screams before they die.” Sivir nodded lightly.
"Then how should we prepare to escape from here!"
Taliyah looked at the luggage in the corner, thinking about how long it would take to escape from Vicora.
After hearing this, Sivir tried his best to bend his legs and try to stand up, but the injury was too serious and he couldn't get up.
She groaned in pain, cold sweat soaked her forehead and eyebrows, dripping down her cheeks and armor.
Taliya came over after hearing the sound, and saw Sivir's pale face, looking quite helpless.
“It looks like it won’t be easy for us to leave Vicoula now.”
Click!
The closed heavy wooden door was damaged by some special force and opened from the outside, bringing with it a rusty smell.
Nasus walked in slowly, carrying a long-handled battle ax and arching his back.
As soon as he came in, he immediately smelled a different smell of blood and sweat.
There is a smell that belongs to ordinary people, there is a smell that belongs to young extraordinary people, and there is a soul that is so ancient.
Like an old friend who once walked side by side with him under the same sun.
Nasus moved his eyes and ignored the Wekaura people gathered together, who were whispering their names in low voices.
Then he found his target in the corner of an abandoned house.
A man is wearing a bright red coat. It seems that he comes from a country beyond the eastern sea.
This girl, whom he had seen earlier in the streets of Kenese, felt her fear, but also determination.
However, Nasus was more interested in the girl's former companion, a legendary strongman from the Noxus Empire who he was quite afraid of.
The girl raised her eyes and noticed Nasus' gaze. She immediately stretched out her hands and drew lines back and forth on her chest, as if weaving the natural magic of the rock.
The yellow sand ground trembled, and stones danced under her feet, poking their heads out from under the sand.
Behind her, Nasus saw a woman struggling to stand up, holding on to the peeling wall.
Her top was soaked in blood. It was a horrific wound, but it was not fatal.
“I am Nasus, the ruler of the desert.” Nasus said solemnly.
Judging from the reaction in the injured woman's eyes, he should have guessed his identity.
The name of Nasus has left too many traces on the continent of Shurima.
Taliya opened her mouth in surprise, but she did not move.
“Get out of the way!” Nasus walked by, his tall figure bringing a shadow like a mountain.
"No, you can't, I promised." Taliyah still insisted.
Nasus turned the ax, hung it on his back, and took a step forward.
Taliyah retreated to the corner, still guarding Sivir, and the ground around her feet rippled.
Stones rise from the ground, like pieces of plaster falling off the wall.
Terrible cracks were drilled into the wall, and they quickly climbed up to the remaining roof.
When Nasus was still a mortal, he had seen similar abilities, and that time he almost lost his life.
The injured Sivir stared at Taliyah in shock. It was obvious that she had no idea of the power of her companion.
"Your ability can break the stone of Shurima." Nasus said.
Taliyah raised an eyebrow and replied solemnly: "That's right, so you'd better stay away, otherwise I can break more than just rocks."
" Haha!”
Nasus ignored the current tense atmosphere and seemed to be amused by Taliyah’s bravado.
"You have a heroic heart, but you are not the person I am looking for."
"Your magic is very powerful, so if I were you, I would run as far away as possible before Xerath destroys this place."
Taliyah refused to retreat, blocking Sivir's attack In front of you.
"I'm not going anywhere. I promised to protect Sivir, and Weaver hates breaking her promise."
"If you want to protect her, then you have to understand that I didn't The idea of harming her."
"Then what do you want to do?"
"I'll save her."
The bandaged Sivir limped with one foot and moved to Taliyah's side.
Although she was obviously in great pain, Nasus was still amazed by her will.
It's just that he underestimated it. The blood of ancient Shurima has always been like this.
“Who is Xerath?”
Sivir met Taliyah's eyes, turned to look at Nasus and asked.
Her body, in front of Nasus, was like a small girl, petite and cute.
Hearing this, Nasus frowned slightly. Have the Shurima people forgotten the history of the fall of the empire?
But he still answered.
“An evil witch spirit, he knows everything about your life experience.”
Sivir thoughtfully nodded slowly, then turned to Taliyah, stretched out a calloused hand and placed it on the girl's shoulder.
"I owe you my life, but I never go into debt. So just consider your promise fulfilled, and I will do it myself from now on."
Taliyah's expression It was obvious that she felt a lot more relaxed, but she still hesitated.
"I'm very grateful, but you can barely walk. At least let me take you out of the city."
"Deal!" Sivir said with an evil tone.
Then she turned back to face Nasus, who had always been patient with her, waved her hand, and showed a golden cross blade that shone with cold light, with an emerald green gem in the center.
Ordinary mortals would not be able to wield this weapon easily, but she held it firmly in her hand.
"Too many strangers have tried to save me lately. But they always want something else in return. So, big man, be honest, what do you want?"
“I want you to live.”
“Then I can live without your help.”
"That's not what the wounds on your body say. You have..."
"You said this?" Sivir interrupted Nasus directly.
"Some idiots in the desert don't like being rejected, so they leave this as a reservation."
"Believe me, I've had worse experiences but I also survived. It seems that God has always taken care of me, no matter what I do." Nasus shook his head and Sivir was far away from the Shurima royal family. His teachings and understanding of destiny are so superficial.
"The future is not a scripture engraved on a stone tablet, but a river with many tributaries, whose riverbed will suddenly change course at any moment."
"Even if fate has already been written among the stars, People will also discover changes after letting go, just like the water of life flowing into the dry land of death." He pointed at Sivir's weapon and asked softly: "Do you know who that knife once belonged to?"
< br>
"Who cares about it? It is my partner now." Sivir replied nonchalantly.
“That is Chalikar, its former owner, known as Setaka, the original war queen of the Ascended Lord.
"You have to know what this meant in the past. I gloriously accompanied Setaka in battles for three centuries."
"Her exploits have become legendary, but I don't think you know her name. Last name."
"The dead are perishable," Sivir said with a shrug.
Nasus ignored Sivir's cold slight towards his war sisters and continued.
“A cultivator in the desert once told Setaka that one day, there will be a king from Shurima who will rule the entire world.”
"These words made her think she was invincible, because we are the ones who conquer the world. However, she was knocked down by the monster on the eve of the end of Icathia."
"I hugged her, Watching her light extinguish little by little, I finally sent her to sleep in the yellow sand. Her weapon was placed on her chest. "
"If you are here to take this back, Then we can have a good chat about the troubles between us."
Nasus looked deeply at the unruly Sivir, then suddenly knelt down on one knee and crossed his hands in front of his chest in salute.
"You are the owner of the ascended bloodline. This weapon is also destined to be commanded by you, because the blood of the Emperor flows in your body."
"The blood of the emperor? The blood of the royal family of the legendary Shurima Empire?" Sivir said coldly.
“Why didn’t I know that I was of royal blood.”
“You don’t have to know, but no matter whether you accept your fate or not, Xerath will kill you.” Nasus said solemnly.
"He wants to completely wipe out Azir's bloodline, once and for all!"
"What does Azir want from her?" Taliyah couldn't help but ask after hearing this.
"Did he come back? Did he return to the Shurima continent?"
Nasus hesitated for a moment and did not answer. Instead, he stood up again and looked at the Vikoran people outside the purple barrier.
Normal people like them cannot hear the conversation just now.
Finally, Nasus looked outside the abandoned stone house and held the ax handle with his left hand. .
“You have heard so much, it’s time to come out!”
After the words fell, Taliyah and Sivir looked solemnly and walked out of the door.
Under the blazing sunshine, two figures wearing linen cloaks appeared and slowly walked into the abandoned house.
They looked extremely clean, in sharp contrast to the bloody and chaotic rebellion scenes outside.
The Wekaura people in the abandoned stone house cast their gazes, and they exchanged doubtful and wary looks with each other.
Someone has grasped the weapons they carried, ready to respond to possible conflicts at any time.
The air began to be filled with an indescribable sense of tension, as if any spark could ignite this silent confrontation.
However, the two people who broke in seemed unaware of the tense atmosphere in the room.
They walked steadily and calmly towards the corner of the stone house, and came to Nasus, Taliyah, and Sivir.
Seeing this, Taliyah was about to use her ability to manipulate rocks, but she quietly stopped after seeing Nasus guarding her in front of her.
Sivir didn’t know why, but she subconsciously clenched the golden cross-shaped weapon in her hand, with a dangerous look in her blue eyes.
"Charles?"
When Huo Jixing took off the linen hood, Taliyah spoke in surprise, feeling a little happy in her heart.
"Didn't you go to Nerimajie? How come you are in Weikaola?"
She asked continuously, very surprised that Huo Jixing would appear here.
But before her excitement faded, she heard a startled and angry voice ringing in her ears.
"Cassiopeia!"
Sivir looked at another figure. That familiar face had often appeared in his sleep, and he killed her with his own hands.
However, when she saw Cassiopeia’s snake-like lower body, she showed an expression of gloating.
"Haha, you are also here today. Doesn't it feel uncomfortable to be bitten by a python stone statue?"
"Sivir, you didn't die in the ancient tomb?"
Cassiopeia stared at the seriously injured Sivir, spit out the scarlet snake letter, and said coldly.
"Since you are not dead, then I will kill you here."
Boom!
A dull sound sounded in the abandoned house.
Nasus took off the long-handled battle ax from his back with his left hand, held it in front of him, and stared at Cassiopeia, who showed murderous intent.
Under the cold gaze from the ascendant, Cassiopeia breathed a little hard, took a step back, and hid behind Huo Jixing.
"Noxian, are you sure you want to be my enemy?"
Nasus's eyes raised slightly, as if the power of death was flowing in his pupils.
When Taliyah heard the identity of the Noxian from Hoji Star, her face stiffened and her joy gradually disappeared.
She does have some dislike for Noxians.
Not only what happened in Shurima, but also what happened with the Ionian War.
“No!”
Huo Jixing’s eyes flashed, paying attention to the purple light surging beside Nasus, and gently waved his hand.
This is an ascended person who has lived for thousands of years!
In his heyday, Nasus was the leader of the Celestial War, and his strength may be comparable to that of the legendary gods.
Even Nasus, who is now in a weak period, is not sure that he can defeat the opponent.
"How could I be your enemy, His Majesty Nasus."
Under the sun disk of Vicola, when I saw Nasus, the star of Huo Ji star There was some speculation in my mind.
Think back to the quarrel between Cassiopeia and Sivir, and talk about the lost tomb.
I had doubts before, but now I am 100% sure.
The mysterious Ascended Tomb in the fall of Katarina is the tomb of the emperor where the ancient wizard spirit Xerath is buried.
It is also the cemetery of Azir, the last emperor of the ancient Shurima Empire.
“Perhaps, our wishes may be the same.”
After Huo Jixing organized his words, he looked at Nasus in front of him and said in a deep voice.
"With the same intention, you also want to go to the place where Xerath is sealed?"
Nasus reacted, his deep eyes filled with endless wisdom, as if he could see through all the fog.
"Yes." Huo Jixing nodded.
“We are going to find someone.”
“Is it Katarina?”
Sivir looked at Ka who was hiding behind Huo Jixing with a sarcastic expression. Theopia, scoffed.
"I saw with my own eyes that she betrayed her sister and was imprisoned in the cemetery."
"How did you do it? A noble lady from the Du Quecao family."
>Huo Jixing glanced at Cassiopeia out of the corner of his eye, looked at Sivir, and asked many questions in succession.
“Sivir, how did you escape from the ancient tomb?”
“Of course, if it’s not convenient for you, you don’t have to say anything. I just want to confirm that Katarina is safe? ”
Sivir fell into silence, his eyes dimly recalling what happened in the Lost Tomb.
